Need help about the A43DE

[interested!]

You have the transmission out of the car , or is the viewing from below ? . Are you mechanically minded ? ( could you repair it if given the bits ? )

I've already pulled it. I'm a mechanic but its an automatic and I'm not touching it lol. If it was a manual I would rebuild it myself but I don't trust myself to rebuild am automatic. Plus the remanned I found cost half as much as a rebuilt kit.

supra and cressida nearly had the same chassis. i can't say 100% but i think the cressida runs the same trans but with small differences. even if it is a 7mge cressida w/e trans it has it will bolt right up.

They both had the 5m-ge and the A43de trans. Somebody told me the only diffrence was the gearing but I'm just wanting to make certain before buying this trans lol.

Hi ! , I always thought that too once . I had the chance to rebuild an automatic box on a Austin Ambassador --never touched an auto box before-- so easy I surprised myself ,always good for experience . The box you have is " blown " so -- nothing ventured - nothing gained .

I would suggest though to take LOADS of pictures during the strip for rebuild after you have found out what the " damage " is . My only hope is that there are still spare parts for it .

I have 2 kids and a full time job. Not much time to explore a trans lol. Also a remanned cost only about 1/4 as much as a rebuild kit does

im willing to bet that cressida trans cost even lest. i would say just have a good look at your and have a good look at the cressida trans. im sure there the same. and really who cares about the gearing, you probly will not even notice the difference.

I found a Cressida trans for dirt cheap. That's what this post is for. I'm trying to find somebody that can tell me if there is a diffrence between the two that would make it not work
